The Nose Knows

The nose knows A sight to make tired eyes blink Skunks walking away from another’s stink A simple fact not known too well With one end they stink, the other they smell A simpler fact that not everyone knows One end’s the tail the other the nose The stink they exude Can be sexy, or rude A scent that says buddy, I’m ovulating The difference between just dating….or mating So, if you inhale a whiff of their scent Be sure to assess for whom it was meant For they do not have the blue lit I-phones They simply respond to unfurled pheromones though they lack the talent to warble and croon they do have the scent to make others swoon while leaving a trail of their pungent perfume they make quite an entrance when leaving a room.
